• Do not touch the device with wet hands.

**** Temperature/humidity| For correct operation and long service life of your switch, maintain the temperature and humidity in the equipment room at acceptable ranges.

• Lasting high relative humidity can cause poor insulation, electricity leakage, mechanical property change of materials, and metal corrosion.

• Lasting low relative humidity can cause washer contraction and ESD and cause issues including loose mounting screws and circuit failure.
• High temperature can accelerate the aging of insulation materials and significantly lower the reliability and lifespan of the switch.

For the temperature and humidity requirements of the switch, see technical specifications in H3C S1850-X & S1850V2-X & S1850V2-EI Switch Series Hardware Information and Specifications.

**** Lightning protection| CAUTION: Ground the switch correctly and verify the grounding. For more information, see “Grounding the switch.”

• If you ground the switch by using a grounding strip, make sure the grounding resistance of the grounding strip in the equipment room is less than 1W.
• If you ground the switch by using a grounding conductor buried in the earth ground, make sure the grounding resistance of the grounding conductor in the ground is less than 10W.·          Route the signal cables along indoor walls, bury the cables in the earth ground, or thread the cables through steel tubes. Install a signal lightning arrester with a nominal discharge current for a corresponding network interface.
• Keep the signal cables far from power cords and lightning rod down conductors.
• As a best practice, route power cords indoors.
• If an AC power cord is routed from outdoors, connect the AC power cord first to a power lightning arrester before leading it to the AC power port on the switch. Make sure the power lightning arrester has a nominal discharge current and the total length of the power cord from the power lighting arrester to the power port on the switch is less than 5 m (16.40 ft).
• Ground the switch, rack, independent power supplies, and lightning arresters separately.·          You must ground optical fibers with reinforcing metal stiffener from outdoors on an optical distribution frame (ODF) or fiber splice enclosure.

**** Cable routing|   CAUTION: Do not run an Ethernet cable and power cord in parallel.

• Route different types of cables separately.·          Keep power cords a minimum of 5 cm (1.97 in) away from other cables.

**** ESD prevention|

• Ground the switch correctly.
• To avoid ESD damage to the device or components, always wear an ESD wrist strap when you install or remove the device or components.
• Make sure the wrist strap has good skin contact and is reliably grounded.

Cleanliness| For more information, see “Cleanliness.”
Corrosive gas prevention| The installation site must be free from corrosive gases such as acid gases and alkaline gases. For more information, see “Corrosive gas limit.”

ground

If the installation site does not have grounding strips, but earth ground is available, hammer a 2.5 m (8.20 ft) or longer angle iron or steel tube into the earth ground to act as a grounding conductor. Make sure a minimum of 0.7 m (2.30 ft) is left between the top of the grounding conductor and the ground.
In cold areas, bury the grounding conductor below the frozen soil layer. In areas with thin soil or rocky gravel, determine the depth for burying the grounding conductor based on the actual condition.

If zinc-coated steel is used, the following dimensions requirements must be met:

• Angle iron—A minimum of 50 × 50 × 5 mm (1.97 × 1.97 × 0.20 in).
• Steel tube—A minimum of 3.5 mm (0.14 in) in thickness.
• Flat steel—A minimum of 40 × 4 mm (1.57 × 0.16 in).
• Round steel—A minimum of 10 mm (0.39 in).
  Weld the yellow-green grounding cable to the angel iron or steel tube and treat the joint for corrosion protection.
